ios xcode provisioning ipa xcode5.1

I have signed a code with a distribution provisioning profile but when I generated the ipa in XCode 5.1 (Save for Enterprise/Adhoc Deployment), the app does not install in my device. I have checked that the distribution profile is properly aligned to the production certificate that is installed in my Macbook. Any reasons or solutions so that I can install my app? Thanks!

Make sure you are using Adhoc Distribution Provisioning Profile, not AppStore Distribution Provisioning Profile. AppStore Distribution Profile is required to distribute app from App Store, in your case you need to do following things in your Developer Account.

  1. Add your Device in Devices List.
  2. Create an Adhoc Distribution Provisioning Profile.
  3. Select and check all the Devices listed.
  4. Sign with the Distribution Certificate, and Adhoc Profile.
  5. Create Adhoc Build, create IPA, and install.

Visit Apple Doc for more information.

Hope it helps.

Cheers.
